Eagles will reportedly face Case Keenum as the Bears’ starting quarterback
· Yahoo Sports
After a lot uncertainty leading up to the Eagles’ Week 3 Monday Night Football game against the Bears, NFL insider Jay Glazer reported on Sunday that Chicago plans to give third-string QB Case Keenum the start, and Tyson Bagent will serve as the backup. This will be Keenum’s first regular season action since 2023.

Caleb Williams was confirmed to have a grade 2 hamstring injury which will sideline him for several weeks, and while Bagent is typically the Bears QB2, he was in the concussion protocol for the majority of the week and unable to prepare much heading into Monday night’s game. Bagent was cleared to play over the weekend, so he’ll at least be available, but putting him in to lead an offense with little to no starting reps, apparently wasn’t the ideal move in Ben Johnson’s mind.
Eagles DC Vic Fangio didn’t seem worried about the uncertainly at quarterback for the Bears and explained that they would prepare for Chicago’s offense in it’s entirety, rather than just who was playing QB. Fangio expects the offense to operate a similar scheme regardless of who is taking snaps.
As much as the quarterback will obviously impact the game, the Eagles defense was really focused this week on avoiding another embarrassing showing against the Bears run game. Defensive tackle Jordan Davis said that it was tough re-watching the tape from last year’s loss in their preparation for Monday’s game, but ultimately, said there was a lot to learn from and do better this go-around.
